WEDDING FAVOR IDEAS

Lucky Key Chains
Give your guests a key chain with a lucky rabbit's foot, a lucky horseshoe or a shamrock.

Lucky Four Leaf Clover Pot
Paint a 2" terra cotta pot green. Decorate along rim with gold paint or small shamrock stickers. Seal the pot with acrylic spray sealer. Place small piece of florist foam in bottom. Glue in some Spanish moss on top. Paint a few wooden four-leaf clovers for each pot and add your names and wedding date to one. Glue clovers to wire or thin wooden dowels and insert into foam.

Pot O' Gold
Buy small cauldrons or buckets at a craft store. Paint a pewter color if needed. Fill with small gold-foil covered candies. Wrap in clear cellophane to hold candies in place.

Irish Music CD or Tape
Give your guests a selection of your favorite Irish music.

Chocolates
Fill Irish-themed chocolate molds (either on a sucker stick or as individual chocolates) and wrap them in green cellephane with a green curly ribbon as decoration.
